Popper is recording the playfield as a blank screen

[elmera]

I recently rebuilt / reinstalled the software on my pincab and am doing some bug fixing.  The latest one is recording my playfield from within Popper I get a blank black screen.  Now this is the catch, this ONLY happens when I choose to record the playfield from Poppers backglass menu.  If instead I go into Poppers wheel submenu and choose the record playfield wheel to launch the table, and use the record button, everything records just fine.  Its only when I record from the backglass menu this happens.  And the problem only happens with the playfield -- FullDMD and backglass record just fine from the backglass menu.  

 

I have a 4K screen.  VPX is running in force exclusive full screen.  I edited PinUPSystem/Recordings/recordstart.bat so that gpu is selected.  

 

Anyone know what would cause one way to work and not the other?  I'd think both options would use the same scripts.  

 

Thanks!

Did you ever fixed it ? I am running in the same with my new 4k cabinet.
EDIT: After restarting Popper videos where loaded

I've had a similar problem.  I could record the backglass and the DMD just fine.    When I tried the playfield it wouldn't record.   I was using the GL version of VPX.   I tried to record it using NVidia Shadowplay and it too didn't work.   I knew at one time I was able to record the playfield... so  I then switched to the DX version and I was able to record the playfield just fine.

 

Maybe there is a limitation between ffmpeg record and openGL.
